Highlights • Four iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic casein–gelatin based experimental diets with varying dietary sources were formulated. • Activities of antioxidant enzymes were analyzed upon different dietary lipids. • All enzyme activities were elevated upon GF diet. • Goose fat is a promising candidate to be used in fish feeding.
